SOME POLITICAL HISTORY.
Shoridnn's Influence Upon Grant Whom
He Iccame IL Candidate.
(From thc Philadelphia Times

From thC Philadelphia Tlmes)
Tho mention Of the name of Lieuten.
ant GonCral Sheridan in connection with
tho Republican nomination to the Pres.
luency recalls scrap of secret history III
the nomination of General Grant. Ii
will be remembered that the latter was
very determined in his opposition to
leaving the army for Il civil place, even
If 1T were the highest. The politicians
had wrestlcd with him in vain, The
silent Viglls of the scntrics who paced
night anu day up and down in front of
his residence on | Street saw mon like
Simon Cameron, Zach Chandler, Charles
Summer and the distinguished coteric of
Senatorial OGgarchs of those days pass
ing III to plead as a reason for entering
the less congenial walks Of civil life, the
eXtrcmitlCs Ui the Republican party and
OF their inability to nominate q man who
could give them the same assurance Of a
perpctlmtion of party domination as
would his candidacy. Tho hero of the
war had declined all overturcs.
The detection of Andrew johnson in
bis relations to tho party which elected
him and his ISSUE with General Grant
drew Sheridan into the controversy.
Part OF the Johnsoniau policy was the
complete withdrawal Of military inter
terence III the civil affairs of the States
merging from rebellion back into their
constitutional relations to the supreme
power. AS part Of his policy he re-
moved General Sheridan from commaud
ut Now Orleans and practically retired
him from any active participation in
military affairs. The result was mill
tary intrigue, i'll which the overrulcd
officers took an important part. Shcri-
dan, who had the confidence of Grant
and who had often been his counselor,
had already been conferred with by the
Republican leaders and united his influ-
oncc with theirs III efforts to win Grant
over to an rccoptonce of the Republican
nomination.
1t was Sheridan who made the first
impression upon Grants mind by point
lug out to him the indignitics put by the
PrcSldCut upon ali the officers who were
placed III positions Ivy him in maintain
lng fi,c Stntus i'll Vuo pending Congress
slonaI legislation; that il was duty he
owed to the army to contribute to its
vindication. The partisan considern-
tons We're secondary in Grants mind,
but the inlportuuitir- OF Sheridan had
their effect and the circle OF Republican
managers were advised Of his changed
attitude.

The Federal Finances.

The Philadelphia Times makes some
interesting comparisons suggested 10y
the figures for the fiscal year just closed
The total receipts from oil sources
amount to 1871 $3.50, S9l and tho net
ordinary expenditures to $2G8, SIG, 100,
leaving the surplus revenue III exact
figures $l02, 1864, T04. The total decrease
III debt for the year is something greater
than the surplus, being, loss cash in
Treasury, &lO9, TG4G.
Taking up the first itcm-that of the
gross receipts, 1911 $3.50, SOFT is grcatc-
than the receipts for 1886 by nearly
$$35, 900, 600 and has been exceeded but
tW4ce since 1872, the total receipts OF
1882 and 1883 being SOB, 3d. ,2j0 and
$398, 297, ,5Sl respectively. The receipts
from customs reached $2l7 ,lO3, 9S3, an
increase OF nearly twenty-four millions
| over 1886 and with one exception the
largest amount received from this source
IN tho history Of the government. The
customs receipts of 1882 exceeded those
of last year about three millions. The
receipts from internal revenue were
$l19, 1876, ,41S; from sales of public lands,
$500, 900, and from all other sources,
$27, $40, ,463.
The net ordinary expenditures,
amounting to $26S, SIG, 100, exceed those
OF 1886 about $50, 900, 900 and arc greater
than for any year since 1875, when they
reached $274, G23, 392. The interest on the
public debt is tnc lowest since the close
Of the war, having been reduced from
$l43, 79l ,591, the highest point touched,
i'll 1866, to $47, 744 ,92O III the year Just
closed, reduction Of nearly hundred
millions. AS an offset to the decreasing
oh. Ill.
pensions reached high-watcr mark,
having amounted to $50, ,G53, 749. The
Indians cost $6,253, ,Gl5; the Navy De
partmcnt, $l5, ,G53, ,279; the War Depart
ment, $38, ,5O2, 53G, and the civil and mis-
collancous list, $8j, 15S, ,O61.
In Wow Of the fact that all the bonds
due and available for payment have been
called and will soon be paid, the uucs-
ton of what to do with the more than
one hundred millions Of annual surplus
certain to bo realized from existing rcyc-
nuo laws becomes Il very pressing one.
No moro bonds can be called until the
$3.50, ,OOO,0 600 Of four and half per cents
become due III 1891. II the present sur
plus were allowed to pile up until that
time there would be cnough TO pay OF
the bonds then available and hall rs
many moro. But tho next bonds avail
able fol payment are the 5137, ,OOO, 900 Of
four pcr cents, which are not payable
until 1907.
A reduction Of taxation is thus nude
imperative, rs it would certainly be dis
abtrouS to allow the present surplus to
pile up III the treasury, while TO spend it
on all sorts Of wild schemes would be
dcmoralizjn8 in the extreme. Something
may be judiciousIy applied to increasing
our navy and pcrfccting our coast de-
fenses, but the sum that shculd be spent
for these purposes should Lot bc large
in any one year. TIE best way to dis
pose Of good many millions OF the sur
